Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of and apparatus for producing a rear holder-attached connector, in which after a housing body and a rear holder are molded in a metal molding die, the rear holder is provisionally retained on the housing body within the metal molding die, and connection terminals are received respectively in terminal receiving chambers formed in the housing body, and thereafter the rear holder is completely retained on the housing body.
  • FIG. 12 One example of a rear holder-attached connector, extensively used for connecting wire harnesses together or for connecting an electronic equipment to a wire harness in a vehicle such as an automobile, as well as a method of producing this connector, will be described with reference to Figs. 12 and 13.
  • a housing body 41 and a pair of rear holders 42a and 42b are molded in molding die cavities (not shown), and at the time when the molding is completed, slides 43a and 43b, forming part of a metal molding die, are located respectively at opposite sides of the housing body 41 while holders 44a and 44b are located at side surfaces of the rear holders 42a and 42b, as shown in Fig. 12.
  • the slides 43a and 43b are moved apart (or retracted) from the housing body 41, and the holders 44a and 44b are inserted respectively into spaces obtained as a result of moving these slides, as shown in Fig. 13.
  • the holders 44a and 44b are driven to move the rear holders 42a and 42b toward the housing body 41, and provisionally retain these rear holders 42a and 42b on the housing body 41.
  • the holders 44a and 44b are moved respectively into the spaces obtained as a result of moving the slides 43a and 43b apart from the housing body 41, and therefore the amount of retracting movement of the slides 43a and 43b need to be larger than the length of the holders 44a and 44b in the longitudinal direction.
  • the production apparatus need to have spaces for receiving the holders 44a and 44b and the retracted slides 43a and 43b. Therefore, the production apparatus has a large size, and besides since the metal molding dies for molding purposes are used also for the above purpose, the production apparatus is complicated in construction, and there is needed a special molding machine. Thus, these problems have been encountered.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method of and apparatus for producing a rear holder-attached connector, in which the production apparatus is simple in construction, and can have a small-size design.
  • EP-A-0733464 discloses an apparatus for producing a connector which includes a housing body having an undercut portion and a terminal receiving chamber, into which a connection terminal is insertable, formed in the housing body, and further includes a rear holder for retaining the connection terminal received in the terminal receiving chamber, the apparatus including a metal molding die which comprises:
  • such an apparatus is characterised by a first cylinder which moves the rear holder together with the slide and the holder, and locates the rear holder at a position where the rear holder is opposed to the housing body; and a second cylinder which moves the located rear holder toward the housing body through the holder, so that the rear holder is attached to the housing body in a provisionally-retained condition within the metal molding die.
  • the slide is moved apart from the housing body, and the first cylinder is driven to move the holder, holding the rear holder, together with the slide, so as to move the rear holder toward the position of the housing body. Then, the second cylinder is driven to move the rear holder toward the housing body, thereby provisionally retaining the rear holder on the housing body.
  • the slide and the holder are moved in unison with each other, and there is no need to provide a space for receiving the holder, and the amount of movement of the slide is small, and therefore the overall size of the apparatus can be reduced, and also the production efficiency can be enhanced.
  • the present invention also provides a method for producing the connector described above, the connector including a housing body having an undercut portion and a terminal receiving chamber, into which a connection terminal is insertable, formed in the housing body, and further includes a rear holder for retaining the connection terminal received in the terminal receiving chamber, the method comprising the steps of:
  • the slide for molding the housing body is moved apart from the housing body after the molding of the rear holder and the housing body.
  • the slide can be moved in a lateral direction together with the holder for molding the rear holder, and therefore there is no need to provide a space for receiving the holder, and the overall size of the apparatus can be reduced, and also the production process can be simplified.
  • the rear holder-attached connector-producing apparatus (hereinafter referred to merely as "production apparatus") 1 of this embodiment has a molding function of molding the rear holders 7a and 7b (described later)and the housing body 8 (described later), and a function of provisionally retaining (mounting) the molded rear holders 7a and 7b on the housing body 8. Therefore, the production method, performed by the production apparatus 1, has the function of effecting the sequential operation from the molding operation by the metal molding dies to the provisionally-retaining operation.
  • the operation for mounting the rear holders 7a and 7b on the housing body 8 will be mainly described as the production method.
  • This production apparatus comprises a fixed molding die 2 (shown at a front right portion of Fig. 1), and the movable molding die 3 (shown at a rear left portion of Fig. 1).
  • the movable molding die 3 comprises a stripper 4 (provided at a front side) and a base portion 5.
  • the stripper 4 and the base portion 5 are moved toward each other to be joined together to form the movable molding die 3, and also these two members, that is, the stripper 4 and the base portion 5, can be moved apart from each other as indicated by arrows A and B in Fig. 4.
  • Guide pins 6 extend through four corner portions of the stripper 4, respectively, and serve to effect a guiding operation when mating the fixed molding die 2 and the movable molding die 3 with each other so as to form the molding die cavities (not shown), and also serve to effect a guiding operation when moving the stripper 4 toward and away from the base portion 5 as described later.
  • Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 8 showing the production apparatus 1, although the showing of runners for pouring a synthetic resin is omitted for illustration purposes, the runners 9 are shown in Figs. 3 and 5 to 7. Therefore, when the fixed molding die 2 and the movable molding die 3 are mated together, the molding die cavities, communicating with the runners 9, are formed, and when the synthetic resin is poured through a pouring port 9a, so that the pair of upper and lower rear holders 7a and 7b and the housing body 8 are molded independently of one another.
  • Slides 11a and 11b are provided at a side surface of the movable molding die 3, that is, a side surface of the stripper 4 opposed to the fixed molding die 2, and these slides 11a and 11b form part of the metal molding die when molding the housing body 8, and are controlled to move apart from the housing body 8 after the molding operation.
  • cores 12a and 12b and holders 13a and 13b are provided at the side surface of the stripper 4.
  • the cores 12a and 12b form part of the metal molding die when molding the rear holders 7a and 7b, and are controlled to be drawn into the stripper 4 from side surfaces of the rear holders 7a and 7b after the molding operation.
  • the holders 13a and 13b form part of the metal molding die during the molding operation.
  • the slide 11a and the holder 13a are mounted on the slide plate 14a which is mounted on the side surface of the stripper 4 so as to reciprocally move in a lateral direction.
  • the slide 11b and the holder 13b are mounted on the slide plate 14b which is mounted on the side surface of the stripper 4 so as to reciprocally move in the lateral direction.
  • Cylinders 16a and 16b which are independent of the slide plates 14a and 14b, are provided at the side surface of the stripper 4.
  • Rods 17a and 17b of the cylinders 16a and 16b are loosely fitted respectively in slide blocks 18a and 18b provided respectively at one ends of the slide plates 14a and 14b.
  • Cylinders 19a and 19b are mounted on the slide plates 14a and 14b, respectively, and rods 20a and 20b (shown in Fig. 3) are loosely fitted in one ends of the holders 13a and 13b, respectively.
  • the cylinders 16a and 16b correspond to first cylinders in the present invention, and the cylinders 19a and 19b correspond to second cylinders in the present invention.
  • the cylinders 19a and 19b are driven so as to provisionally retain the pair of rear holders 7a and 7b on the housing body 8.
  • a plurality of terminal receiving chambers 22 are formed in the housing body 8, and open portions 22a, formed respectively in upper and lower sides of this housing body, correspond to undercut portions in the present invention.
  • the rear holders 7a and 7b in their provisionally-retained condition cover large portions of the open portions 22a, respectively, and these rear holders 7a and 7b in their completely-retained condition completely cover the open portions 22a, respectively.
  • the upper rear holder 7a and the lower rear holder 7b (in the drawings) are provisionally retained on the housing body in such a manner that each rear holder is disposed astride the corresponding row of terminal receiving chambers 22.
  • provisional retaining means a condition in which the rear holder is retained on the housing body in a manner to allow connection terminals 23 (described later) to be received in the respective terminal receiving chambers 22. Namely, when the rear holders are held in the provisionally-retained condition, the connection terminals 23 can be inserted respectively into the terminal receiving chambers 22 as shown in Figs. 10 and 11. In the condition shown in Fig. 11, when the rear holders 7a and 7b are further pushed into the terminal receiving chambers 22, the connection terminals 23 are prevented from withdrawal, and this condition is referred to as a completely-retained condition.
  • the housing body 8 having the rear holders 7a and 7b provisionally retained thereon is removed from the stripper 4, and then the slide plates 14a and 14b are returned respectively into their initial positions by the cylinders 16a and 16b. Then, when the stripper 4 and the base portion 5 are moved toward each other to be joined together, the cores 12a and 12b are projected into their respective initial positions.
  • the production method comprising the sequential steps from the molding to the provisional retaining, can be effected.
  • the rear holders 7a and 7b and the housing body 8 will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 9 to 11.
  • the plurality of terminal receiving chambers 22 are formed in the housing body 8, and the upper rear holder 7a and the lower rear holder 7b (in the drawings) are provisionally retained on the housing body in such a manner that each rear holder is disposed astride the corresponding row of terminal receiving chambers 22.
  • Each of the rear holders 7a and 7b has a U-shaped cross-section, and retaining holes 25 are formed respectively in inner surfaces of right and left side walls 24 of the rear holder, and also retaining claws 26, each having a slanting surface, are formed respectively on the inner surfaces of the right and left side walls 24.
  • provisionally-retaining projections 28, each having a tapering surface 27, as well as retaining steps 29, are formed respectively on opposite side surfaces 8a of a rear end portion of the housing body 8.
  • a slanting abutment surface 30 for holding the reverse surface of the rear holder 7a, 7b so as to guide the same is formed on each of the upper and lower sides of the housing body in which the open portions 22a of the terminal receiving chambers 22 are formed, respectively.
  • the rear holders 7a and 7b are located in registry with the open portions 22a in the housing body 8, respectively, as shown in Fig. 9.
  • the rear holders 7a and 7b are provisionally retained on the housing body 8, as shown in Fig. 10.
  • the provisionally-retaining projections 28 are engaged in the retaining holes 25 (shown in Fig. 9), respectively, and upon pivotal movement of each rear holder 7a, 7b, the retaining claws 26 are engaged with the retaining steps 29, respectively, and at the same time the reverse surface of the rear holder 7a, 7b is abutted against the abutment surface 30.
  • the slides 11a and 11b, as well as the holders 13a and 13b, are mounted on the slide plates 14a and 14, respectively, and the second cylinders 19a and 19b for respectively driving the holders 13a and 13b so as to provisionally retain the rear holders 7a and 7b on the housing body 8 are also mounted on the slide plates 14a and 14b, respectively. Therefore, the slides 11a and 11b are moved apart from the housing body 8, and then the first cylinders 19a and 19b are driven to move the slide plates 14a and 14b in the lateral direction, and merely by doing so, the rear holders 7a and 7b are located in opposed relation to the housing body 8, respectively.
  • the amount of movement of the slides 11a and 11b is small, and the time, required for the production process, is reduced, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the operation. And besides, spaces for respectively receiving the slides 11a and 11b do not need to be provided outwardly of the holders 13a and 13b, and therefore the production apparatus can have a small-size design.
  • the method of and apparatus for producing the rear holder-attached connector are not limited to the above embodiment, but various modifications can be made.
  • this embodiment is directed to the method of producing one rear holder-attached connector, a plurality of connectors are actually produced at a time, and many connectors can be produced at a time without increasing the overall size of the production apparatus.
  • the present invention can be applied to the type of connector in which a rear holder is provisionally retained on one side surface of a housing body.
  • the slide is moved apart from the housing body, and the first cylinder is driven to move the holder, holding the rear holder, together with the slide so as to move the rear holder to the predetermined position where the rear holder is disposed in opposed relation to the housing body. Then, the second cylinder is driven to move the rear holder toward the housing body, thereby provisionally retaining the rear holder on the housing body.
  • the slide and the holder are moved in unison with each other, and it is not necessary to move only the slide in a large amount in a different direction. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a space for holding the slide in a stand-by condition, and also it is not necessary to provide a control mechanism for moving only the slide. Therefore, the production apparatus can be reduced in size, and can be simplified, and the production efficiency can be enhanced.
